Re: Who can repair my monitor?
A little off topic, but related question: Who can take away my old monitors? I have about 20 or so old Sun and HP monitors (some work, some, not so much working), and I know that I can't just toss them in the dumpster because of that whole environmental, polution, kill-the-planet thing. So, does anyone know who I can call to take them away? TIA, Kenny PS I can't wait until Hostraders, either. I have to empty out the storage facility that they are in. Quoting Benjamin Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Sat, 19 Jan 2002, Michael O'Donnell wrote: My no-name monitor with Trinitron innards made smoke and some snap-crackle-pop sounds before dying the other night. Any recommendations for repair shops? If it is repairable (i.e., the tube is not blown), any place that repairs TVs should be able to repair a monitor. However, keep in mind that the cost of repair will often be 50% or more the cost of a brand new monitor. At those prices, repairing an old monitor becomes a poor business decision. -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.

Business Card CDROMs
An update to my question about business card CD writing. My relatively cheap IDE drive burns them just fine. Its an LDG unit made for Compaq that was bought at a computer show for $50. It worked fine after I determined which side had the recordable media. g The little 3 inch disks work fine too. A decent source I found was : JNS Company, LTD 617-479-1283 They sell the business card CDs for $6/10 and less for more. Labels and sleeves in stock too. All other types of CDs as well.

Call your town or city hall to find out when the next one will be. Bow and Dunbarton did a joint one this fall. There was a $5 disposal fee for monitors, but I don't think there was any fee for other computer parts.

Computer Recycling: Resources and Opportunity
On the slightly off-topic of Computer Recycling, here are some resources and an opportunity: RESOURCES: I knew there was a state program so I searched the State web site and found the following three pages: The NH Governor's Recycling Program (NHGRP) http://www.state.nh.us/recycle/ I have their March 2000 Computer Reuse and Recycling pamphlet which lists 26 facilities that offer some type of computer recycling. The Waste Management Division - Planning and Community Assistance Section Bracing for the bytes - Preparing your community for discarded computers and televisions http://www.des.state.nh.us/PCAS/nhma.htm This has a lot of good looking links at the bottom, specifically the next one I listed. The document from the EPA also looked good but I didn't read it yet. The Waste Management Division - Planning and Community Assistance Section Vendors for Computer Recycling (Particularly Cathode Ray Tubes) http://www.des.state.nh.us/PCAS/comp_recyclers.htm This page is not as comprehensive as the pamphlet that I have. Hopefully the ones in the pamphlet have not gone out of business. OPPORTUNITY: As the old parts have been collecting in my basement, I've been thinking about recycling. I've been meaning to talk to my town's recycling committee to encourage them to add computers to their list of recyclables. Now that recycling has been raised on this list, I think this would be a great opportunity for GNHLUG and it's local chapters to provide both a community service and raise the awareness of Linux. What do others think? Is there someone with the time and motivation to lead such an effort? I don't have the time to lead, but I'm very willing to help.

tetex -- needed for newbie users?
Let's say I want to install Red Hat 7.2 on a bunch of older systems with only 1.5Gb disks and maybe above. I'm trying to conserve disk space, but don't want to remove any functionality needed for the newbie. Do the tetex packages provide anything that newbie user is going to care about? I ask, because I've never used it myself, and I can save 100Mb of disk space by excluding it. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior Systems Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.

Still looking for the answer; maybe a newer kernel.. :-)
On looking at the note where I found the ShadowStatus solution,
I see that I should have added it to XF86Config-4, not
plain old XF86Config.. {sigh} Added now, let's see if this
sucker stays up.

Re: Anybody running 2.4 and AMD???
Hmm. I'm running a 1 GHz Athlon with kernel version 2.4.3 (a la Mandrake 8.0) and a 32 MB NVidia TNT2 AGP video card (and XFree 4.0.3 if it matters) on an ABIT KT7A-RAID mobo with 512 MB RAM. I have not experienced any random lockups. I know nothing about the stock Mandrake kernel and haven't tried rolling my own yet (but I will, once I learn more about the process). Are these lockups truly random? The article doesn't go into too much detail. -Mike- On Monday 21 January 2002 05:12 pm, Rich C wrote: And experiencing random lockups?

Re: Anybody running 2.4 and AMD???
I have an AMD Athalon chip in my desktop system. I've had it up for two weeks with no problems, and the only reason I rebooted was to upgrade from 2.4.10 to 2.4.16 because I needed the USB support.
